musically speaking of the Pat McGee Band shows off his incredible guitar playing ablity. P vito h Dcm Rohnetie What do the Pat McGee Band, Be!lW!!5nEzra, George Clinton, and Jolin Mellencamp all have in common? Over the last year they have all performed on Notre Dame ' s campus. The Student Union Board is to thank for bringing most of these well-known singers to visit the Irish. Over the past few years, the Pat McGee Band has proven to be a success in the world of music entertainment. So, come April 2002 , the Pat McGee Band stepped onto the stage in Stepan Center, bringing thousands of screaming fans out to support them. During August of 2002 , in what was called ' The Show ' , the ever-so-famous George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars and Better Than Ezra perfonned. Better Than Ezra even invited a student up on stage to play guitar to one of their songs. When George Clinton was playing there were times when more than twenty people were on stage performing. While some were actually mucisians and singers, a few just danced around and entertained the crowd. ' The Show ' was held on the first weekend students were back on campus for the beginning of fall semester. To students, this weekend is full of parties, time to see friends, and of course, time to let loose before the stresses of the academic year set in. Fellow Hoosier John Mellencamp performed for the Irish at the JACC. With his well-known songs and his animated concert demeanor, Mellencamp rocked with both students of Notre Dame and South Bend residents. Many concert- goers found themselves singing along for most of the night. by Kate DiNardo
